Urban sophistication meets natural beauty.

Fabulous Fences

It's been said that good fences make good neighbours, but who says those fences can't be good looking as well as functional?

Black and white is the theme for this classic estate fence. Wrought iron railings with decorative insert form a visual counterpoint to gracious stone columns in elegant ivory. A cobblestone base subtly connects the urban structure with the site's lush, natural setting.

You never know who your neighbors could be, but this characteristically southwestern fence welcomes them all. Stylish in its simplicity, the curved adobe-style base is crowned with a geometric pattern of interconnected brick that not only echoes the traditional, interlocking terra cotta tile roof but also provides privacy without compromising openness.

Ever-changing shadows play across this home's secluded, interior courtyard creating a living art form and, perhaps, a secret -- or not so secret -- hiding place for one of the many friendly local tarantulas or other desert neighbors who love to enjoy the desert sunshine.
